This video essentially serves as my personal love letter to Arcane's animation and SFX teams. I'm also just obsessed with this song right now and wanted to finally make an upbeat action video for this show, because of course I did 😎 I've been meaning to make one ever since I watched the show (and tried to some extent with the Post Blue video I uploaded), but I don't think I had A Vision™ nor the right skill to achieve it until now. Super happy with how it came out tbh, I hope you guys enjoy this as much I enjoyed editing it! 💖

I FINALLY FINISHED A CAITVI VIDEO!!!!!!!!!!! FUCKING HALLELUJAH
This one's more ~vibes~ than anything, since I didn't really follow any proper theme/thread while making it 😅 I just rediscovered this song the other day, which hit me with an insane burst of inspiration, and then proceeded to make this in like, a day and a half. BUT I MADE ONE!! AND it's with this song!! (Which I've been itching to use for a video since I watched this one all the way back in 2013ish, so that's another bonus: youtube.com/watch?v=B0z3DaS4WuE)
I'm SO INSANE over these two. I've BEEN insane over these two since December 2021 and will most likely never stop. THEY ARE JUST SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO !!!!!!!!!!!! FUCK

Is anyone surprised that I fell in love with The Locked Tomb over the past month? The answer is no. Please scream in the comments if you're also in the depths here with me. (GRIDDLEHARK!!!!!!!!!??????? GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!) (Yes, this series actually got me to change my Tumblr URL)
Just as Steddie got me back into writing last year, apparently TLT is getting me back into drawing this year!! This is a little Harrow WIP I've been working on, since I fell into a rabbit hole of watching a bunch of these animation memes and these lyrics just /screamed/ Harrow the Ninth to me. IT'S HER!! MY GIRL!!
So I caved and started making this. I'm hoping I'll stick with this long enough to make it a proper little animation (it'll probably stay relatively basic since I'm far from an experienced animator, but I want to clean it up and make it more ~fun~), but I'm assuming that'll take a while, so I figured I'd upload the WIP animatic in the meantime to prove that I'm alive. (I'm also going to revise these character designs while cleaning it up — along with some obvious mistakes I don't think I made Harrow pointy enough lol)
I'm also working on a Gideon PMV atm (GIDEON NAV MY BELOVED, MY HEART AND SOUL, MY DEAREST DARLING PRINCE GIRL), but that one will DEFINITELY take a while since it's significantly more intricate than this. Fingers crossed that I finish it (hopefully by the summer! 🤞)

So my friend Dot made an incredible Nancy Wheeler video with this song earlier this weekend (which you should go watch, by the way!! It's linked above!! This is such a Nancy song it's insane!!), and the moment I watched it my inspiration SKYROCKETED. After rewatching it a few more times, as well as listening to this song on loop for a while, it dawned on me that this is ALSO such a Katniss song—and then I checked and somehow nobody's done this yet!! At least not that I could find on YouTube.
And then (along with a separate Nancy video that I'm working on) I opened up a new video file and emerged three days later with this.
I'm just in such a Hunger Games mood lately. I've been rereading the books for Reasons™ as well as just for fun and it really is ALL that's been on my mind for the past few weeks (aside from Stranger Things). It's just so fucking GOOD. I love Katniss so much. Hopefully this video does her grief justice the way that I wanted it to, as well as how hard Snow/the Capitol try to silence her throughout the series.

Man, The Hunger Games really hits different when you're an adult. THESE TWO, JESUS CHRIST. JESUS CHRIST!!!!!!!!!! I would write a whole essay but I think the video says it all. Can't believe Taylor Swift wrote this song specifically for them.

I love exactly three things in life:
1. Midnights by Taylor Swift (which is INCREDIBLE and anyone who says otherwise is lying to you);
2. Steve Harrington;
3. Making my friend Niamh cry.
I've been wanting to make a Steve video for a while, now, but I couldn't really find a song that felt right for what I wanted. And then Taylor Swift released THIS BANGER and my brain went whrrrrrrrrrrrr and popped this out in, like, three days.
I wanted to try and explore that sense of loneliness behind a lot of Steve's arc, how he's always had the title/the popularity/etc. but never people who actually cared about him until he found Dustin/Robin/the rest of the Party. That feeling of always being alone even in a crowded room. And then he finds his little family and suddenly he's /not/ alone anymore and I just! Ugh! I love Steve Harrington!! Ahhhh!!

!!!!! STEDDIE NATION RISE !!!!
If the Duffer Brothers won't give me this plotline in canon, then I guess me and Joseph Quinn have to do it ourselves.
I can't remember the last time I was this invested in a non-canon ship. Probably Klance? But I'd compare my Steddie feelings more to my 2014 Stevebucky era (totally unrelated to the Eddie Munson Winter Soldier AU that has NOT left my brain since Vol. 2) or Merthur. Either way: GOOD SOUP
This video idea has been lingering in my head for like, a week and a half or something. I know that Eddie's advice quote at the beginning is ~supposed~ to be pushing Stancy in canon, but I REALLY wanted to use it in the "resigned to my fate that my crush doesn't like me back" context because, like. Fuuuuck. Teenage me would've gone absolutely BONKERS over this song.
So: enjoy some angst—you're welcome.

Fuck Volume 2.
Lol, not really, though. There's a lot about Vol. 2 that I really liked and thought was done well; Eddie's storyline was just not one of them.
If I'd finished this a week ago I would be writing an angry rant about how unnecessary his death was and how LAZILY it was written (they could've had, like, a SINGULAR bat break through the door and it would've added some purpose to the whole thing). But it's been nearly three weeks at this point and I think everybody's already heard it in some form or another, so in summary: I love Eddie Munson and I am upsetti spaghetti.
I've been chipping away at this for a little over a week and finally got the inspiration to finish it this weekend! This video was borne out of a desire to play around with some symbolism + have a sad Vol. 2 Eddie video where I don't have to listen to him choking on his own blood bc the sound of it makes me want to throw up, lol. So here we go! I heard this song for the first time the day that Vol. 2 came out and nearly cried in my parents living room, so naturally I'm dragging you all down with me. Have fun.

Two videos in 24 hours?? Who am I???
Listen. I finished my Hellfire video and was still in the mood to edit so I whipped this out in like, one evening. I love Eddie so much. I physically couldn't NOT make a video of him.
Heavily inspired by Grable424 (as always) bc her Steve Harrington video is iconic.

A short S4-specific tribute bc this season was so goddamn fun. I've had this song on my list for videos for YEARS and the moment I saw "Hellfire Club" in ST4, I knew this was the one. I can't believe how fucking well this song fits, too - the CLOCK CHIMES in the pre-chorus?? Barns Courtney deserves soundtrack royalties for this season at this point
I have lots of thoughts on ST4 so far, but the important ones are:
1) S4 is officially my new favourite season after S1;
2) I hope they can tie up some of the plot holes that this season created (aka how will they retcon some of the S2 backstory lol);
3) I hope my boy Will gets some good action scenes soon bc I felt so bad barely including him in this video;
4) Eddie Munson is the perfect man and I am in love with him.
I'm gonna try to do a full rewatch before 4.2 comes out (or at least most of it) and hopefully some longer + way more comprehensive Stranger Things videos will come this summer bc this season has INSPIRED ME. No promises tho bc we all know that I am flaky.

I can't believe Marina wrote this song about Jinx all the way back in 2010!! Prophetic legend!!
The idea for this video came to me a couple of months ago and I was so surprised that nobody's made it yet since this song fits Jinx to a T (if any exist that I missed, pls send my way). This whole album was a spiritual experience for me in middle/high school and I'm glad I can finally edit well enough to do this song justice lmao.
Also for whatever reason I had SUCH trouble with the audio levels on this video, so you may need to use captions and turn up the volume a bit to hear everything properly. Oh well.

Soooooo....................I finally watched the last two seasons of Voltron.
I think I have to begrudgingly admit that it is my favourite show. Like, it's not good. Arcane remains my /actual/ favourite show in terms of quality. I actually really enjoyed S7 and S8, but only because my expectations for the plot were quite literally on the floor and the animation was a DELIGHT to watch. But, like, if I think about it for too long I hate this show. It's done nothing but disappoint me from a writing/production perspective. And yet I love it so much and it holds such a special place in my heart after all this time and the experience of watching it was so fun and ultimately so positive (also I ultimately owe the success of my channel to Voltron? Lmao).
So this video is basically me digging up everything I love about this show, plus an attempt to convince myself that the ending wasn't garbage. Arcane is the healthy relationship with the happily ever after that shows you what real love is supposed to feel like, while VLD is that shitty ex who you'll never really stop thinking about no matter how happy you are without them.
Anyway, this is that ~secret video~ I mentioned in my Unfinished/WIPs compilation, lol. I've had the last two seasons on my hard drive since mid-2020 but I never actually expected to make anything with them. But then I went home to my parents' house a few weeks ago and got hit with the STRONGEST urge to finally FINISH this goddamn show for CLOSURE, and I watched nearly the entire thing in one weekend. If any remnants of the fandom still exist then this is a gift for you guys. Thanks for sticking around this long. If I'm crying over Voltron in 2022 then so are you. Ur welc
(Also - this song SLAPS. One of the first videos I ever uploaded on this channel was this Homestuck video with this song: youtube.com/watch?v=6NqCyEcAwNs, which I just realized was almost exactly 10 years ago. That's fucking wild. That means I've been editing for 13 years. What the actual fuck)

The difference this time, though, is that this isn't a cutting room floor video borne from lack inspiration. No, no. I have way too MUCH inspiration that I don't know what to do with right now. I have an entire Notion page just filled to the brim with video ideas. These are just the videos that I either gave up on or am going to redo once I get a chance; I also have a couple of ~top secret~ videos I'm working on that I didn't want to show but will be up soon enough on their own. Hehehehe.
Anyways, onto the breakdown:
#1. Six of Crows - Heathens (0:00)
This video will almost certainly get repurposed eventually? I just don't know if I'm going to make it now or wait until season 2.
I started it around when season 1 came out, cause I had just finished Crooked Kingdom and I was absolutely obsessed. But then I tried to stretch all their scenes from season 1 into a 2.5 minute long video and I just...couldn't do it? Not the way I wanted to, at least, and this just felt really disjointed in the end. Also I modified this colouring (originally Winter by SunnyVids) so much that I made it super ugly and I couldn't fix it lmfao.
So basically I just gutted this whole video after rendering this, and took out the middle chorus/second verse and put the original colouring on. I'd ideally like to actually make this cause there are certain parts I'm still a fan of and I think it would be a fun video, but we'll see how it goes.
#2. Kaz Brekker - The Kid I Used to Know (1:48)
This is barely a video, but the song fits Kaz to a T and I needed to include this little snippet of a WIP I started around the same time as Heathens to SHOW THE WORLD AND MAKE ALL OF YOU CRY WITH ME OVER THIS SONG
I think Kaz is my favourite Crow and I want to make a dedicated video SO BADLY. He just doesn't have enough usable and song-context-relevant scenes in the show yet to make this video without straight up making an animatic. Which I could technically do, I'm just lazy and self conscious about my art lol. We'll see. Maybe he'll get a backstory in s2 and I'll be off to the races.
#3. Shadow & Bone - What If This Storm Ends? (2:20)
I legitimately got like 3/4 of the way through this video and then I just. Ran out of scenes. Completely. So I just rendered what I had and then gutted this one too.
I think I can make this whole video with s1 if I just reorganize it a bit - this one also ended up really disjointed and I couldn't put my finger on why, but I could tell even as I was editing it and I didn't love it. Also this was another one where I couldn't get the colouring right (I started this when I was still using SVP12 and my Color Curves weren't working so I was stuck with Levels lol) so it also just turned out visually uglier than I wanted. HOWEVER now I have VP18 and functioning Color Curves and I just rewatched the show so I can STRUCTURE IT and hopefully end up with a coherent video (assuming I..............actually do it).
#4. Squid Game - Cherry Tree (5:58)
Started this one around mid-October because song is perfect. The National is my heart and this song has strong Squid Game vibes. I just struggle so hard with quotes when it's a language I don't speak and the show is so brutal that I kinda dropped off editing cause it just made me sad. But I'd like to finish this someday!
#5. Caitlyn & Vi - Undisclosed Desires (7:06)
I AM WORKING ON THIS I PROMISE
THIS IS MY PROOF THAT PROGRESS IS BEING MADE
I might change around a couple of fonts here and there, but most of it is just actually adding movement to the art I've laid out and filling in the the remaining gaps. It's somewhere between 50%-75% laid out and maybe 30%-50% edited, so once I really sit down to finish this it'll be fine.
#6. Arcane - Let It Rock (8:38)
Editing this video is some of the most fun I have had in a WHILE. This song was one of those I've been wanting to edit with since I was in middle school (so like.......2010/2011?? I did actually make something in 2011 but we won't talk about that video lol) and I finally am confident enough in my editing + found a show that genuinely fits so here we are.
It's so fun to edit. I got hit with the BIGGEST burst of inspiration for this a few weeks back and HAD to make it. So this one's definitely getting finished, I just don't know when.
Anyway, that's the summary. I have a BUNCH more videos that just either a) didn't have enough clips to actually render previews of; b) are still in the planning stages; or c) are Top Secret for now and didn't make it into this video. I don't think I've had this much inspiration since like.......2017? Around when I upload my Voltron videos. So I am honestly THRILLED right now and actually very excited to be uploading this.
Thank you for reading my ramblings. I think I've had too much coffee today. 🤣

This video was a goddamn labour of love. @ Fortiche and Riot, please hire me to make promo material for your show. It is unbelievably fun.
Arcane has very quickly become my favourite show of all time, or at LEAST very high up on the list (we'll see once TDP makes its long-awaited comeback lmfao). I've always been unfortunately picky with my media and even then have mostly been a low- to mid-key fan of things the last few years (I pretty much only make videos of things that I love), but from the VERY FIRST SHOT OF THE TRAILER this show stole my heart completely and entirely. I watched it around Christmas (and was VERY shocked I'd never heard of it before because it is directly up my alley) and not a single day has gone by since where I haven't extensively and emotionally thought about it. The characters? My darlings. The writing? Phenomenal and compelling. The world-building? Immersive as fuck. The ANIMATION??? STUNNING, LEGENDARY, EVERYTHING I HAVE /EVER/ WANTED BOTH FROM A VISUAL AND AN EDITING PERSPECTIVE, HOLY SHIT
Also if you couldn't tell from my icon, Vi is my favourite.
So I needed to make a video, if not multiple (I have.......so many ideas) since this show pretty much dug my editing inspiration out of the depths of hell and brought it back. (How long will it stay?? Who knows. Will I now finish my insane backlog of videos?? Unclear. Will I end up only editing with Arcane for the rest of my life?? Non-zero chance.)
I chose this song to start because 1) it's been one of my favourites since I was a kid, and 2) one of the first videos I ever uploaded to this channel was with this song (this one: youtube.com/watch?v=AzNOpS5EUuc), and I wanted to do it some more justice. It was also a good base for experimenting with Arcane's visuals/plot points and action sequences without being an overwhelming amount of either. Plus I love re-using songs from old videos and seeing how I've improved over the years!
This ended up taking me...about three months? I started the first week of January, then worked on it on-and-off until about two weeks ago and then I just powered through the last half of the editing. The masking in the intro sequence alone took me four days, lol. I watched so many video essays and documentaries while doing it 🤣
Anyway, enough of my incoherent rambling. I love Arcane and all of you should watch it. If you have watched it then PLEASE leave your thoughts in the comments because I am looking for any reason to talk about it. Tell me who your faves are and roast me if I didn't do them justice in this video. (I think this is the only video I've ever made where I've had MORE footage than I knew what to do with instead of running out and scrambling near the end...iconic)

I can't believe Olivia Rodrigo inspired me to edit Voltron again. Her power knows no bounds.
I started this, like...the week after the song came out? But got frustrated and tired while collecting fanart and then got overwhelmed with life and never ended up continuing it. And then the a few days ago I was listening to this song and basically all my inspiration came back at once, and voila! It's actually done. I'm pretty happy with it, I think it's a fun video. Not overly complicated but not overly simple, either. Hopefully you guys enjoy it?
Also, I will be perfectly honest, any clips I used from S7 or S8 I literally have no idea what the in-show context is. I downloaded the last two seasons specifically for this video and just looked for the Klance scenes I knew existed and slapped them in there. I think at some point I will honestly rewatch the show front-to-back cause I'm so curious at this point, but that day has not yet come LMAO.

Y'ALL.
I started making this video before reading the books, and initially planned on finishing Crooked Kingdom before finishing this so I'd have a full array of book quotes to work with.
HOWEVER
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The end of CK chapter 12 killed me and I gave in and finished this last night. Literally WHO gave Leigh Bardugo the RIGHT. I'm losing my entire mind every time they so much as think about each other in their internal monologues, let alone whenever they interact. Inej touching his cheek at the end of SoC and some deep part of him not wanting her to let go. Kaz's final thoughts before almost drowning being that he's twisted, crooked, wrong, but not so broken that he couldn't pull himself into some semblance of a man for Inej. The fact that literally everyone on the team can see it except the two of them. Apparently there's some bathroom scene coming later in CK and I'm not ready? Every time they so much as look at each other I gain another 300 years onto my life force. Even just writing this description I am about to fling myself into the sun because I don't know what to do with myself. WHO GAVE LEIGH BARDUGO THE RIGHT
Anyways, I made this video to process my emotions. Excuse the shoddy colouring at times, I'm relatively new to making my own 😅

You guys. I am kind of obsessed with Shadow and Bone.
I tried reading the books back in high school but couldn't really get into them, HOWEVER now that I've seen season one I am VERY intrigued and will be reading both series as soon as I can get my hands on them!! I DESPERATELY need to know how Kaz and Inej's story goes in particular because I am already DESPERATELY IN LOVE with them. As a ship and also as individuals. I basically just have a massive crush on every single character in this show.
I also? Made this entire video in a little over 12-13 hours? I had to spend an extra couple of hours on it since 1) I originally edited it in some invalid aspect ratio so I had to go back and manually change every clip and 2) Vegas was giving me rendering issues. HOWEVER, the bulk of the editing I basically did in one sitting, and it is somehow one of my favourite videos I've ever made, if not my favourite to date. How??
Anyways, please enjoy and go watch Shadow and Bone.

I literally just powered through this video in 7 hours lmao. I've been listening to this song nonstop the last three days and could not for the LIFE of me get this idea out of my head, so here it is. It actually turned out pretty good for such a short editing timeframe, I'm pretty happy with it.
I also tried using some effects this time! Haven't used them regularly since I was in high school + never really got into using effects for live-action footage, but I've been watching a lot of anitaxv's Elite edits recently and I got inspired haha. I'm slowly working on my own Elite edit and I'm gonna go EVEN HARDER with effects for that one and I am very excited.

I swear to god, getting this video rendered took more effort than actually editing the freaking thing. But this is some of the MOST FUN I've had editing in a LONG TIME and I'm very proud of how this turned out!!
Yes, this video is just as chaotic as this song is just as chaotic as this show. The entire theme of this video is just Chaos™.
I've been wanting to use this song in a video for YEARS. Since around my second year of university (and right now I'm in my fifth). I actually started watching TUA /because/ I saw some other fanvideos when it first came out and was like "omg maybe this is the SHOW for this SONG" but then S1 didn't have enough footage for me to make good use of + the video wasn't coming out the way I wanted it to at the time, so I gave up on it and it ended up in my "Unfinished Videos" recap of this year. But then I finally watched S2 and LO AND BEHOLD, that was what I NEEDED to actually MAKE THIS and now it exists and I am very content. :D

+++ MAAAAAJOR FRUITS BASKET SPOILERS in this, proceed with CAUTION if you're an anime-only!
Hello!! It’s been a long time! I can’t believe I’ve only uploaded two full videos in two and a half years. That’s fucking crazy. Here’s a showcase of all my current WIPs/unfinished projects to show that I am legitimately trying, haha! I think I’m currently just in a major all-around creative slump; I’ll probably bring my desktop to school with me this year just so I have it around in case inspiration strikes once again.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Some behind-the-scenes info about each video:
1. Kyo/Tohru - I Love You (0:00)
Song: youtube.com/watch?v=qHJLEAhF1Wc
This video is actually a REMAKE of a video I made as a youth! This one: youtube.com/watch?v=go2ngg6tpdw It’s from 2014 and yet still one of my FAVOURITE videos I’ve EVER made and I wanted to try to recreate it with my current skills. Problem is that a) I keep running into a slump every time I try to edit it, and b) Vegas keeps CRASHING like every time I edit this file for more than half an hour. I do want to finish it at some point (that section during Angel Haze’s rap? Between “back to the intro” and that last “kyo will be confined” quote? Some of my best editing imo, I am extremely proud of that and want it to properly EXIST in the world), but when will I gather up the energy required to battle SV while I do it? We shall see.
2. TUA - Pork Soda (1:46)
Song: youtube.com/watch?v=78DVtcsT26k
I am OBSESSED with this SONG and have been since my old housemate showed it to me in like, late 2017. I started this after watching S1 and then got about this far, but I wasn’t really feeling what I’d already edited cause I think it’s a little too disjointed tbh. Some parts are *chef’s kiss* (that part with the knife transition? I am VERYYY proud of that to this day) and other parts are meh. But I DO want to just retry making this from scratch once I get around to watching S2 cause I desperately want this video to exist.
3. Euphoria - Withorwithout (3:20)
Song: youtube.com/watch?v=q6t2Ne-WnYs
This is possibly my favourite song of ALL TIME. I have listened to it countless times on repeat for a little over a year now and it’s somehow BETTER every time I listen to it. I haven’t gotten tired of it once despite probably listening to it about 1000 times, at least. I couldn’t get this instrumental part out of my head and thought it would fit really well with the fluidity in Euphoria’s cinematography, so I slapped this part together in like half an hour one day just to get it out of my system. I was thinking of making a full video cause the lyrics would work really well, but I’m not currently inspired to finish it.
4. Little Women - Spotlight (3:47)
Song: youtube.com/watch?v=C5nC1yoTh3M
I uploaded a preview for this waaaaay back in the day, so the people that watched it might remember this one lmao. I was having fun with it until I finished this much, and then I realized I had no idea how to fill up the last third of the video. So it’s pretty much abandoned until further notice.
5. Stranger Things - Dangerous (5:35)
Song: youtube.com/watch?v=I3uJ_u-yvpg
Inspired by: youtube.com/watch?v=xNNR2V99cB4
I LOOOOOOOVE HOW THIS LOOKS SO FAR AND I 100% INTEND TO FINISH IT SOMEDAY. It literally was abandoned until I rendered it for the purpose of this video and legitimately SHOCKED myself with how much I liked it after all. So I’m probably just gonna have to carve out some time to rewatch the whole show (I cannot for the life of me remember where anything is/what happens in ST, it’s very painful for editing purposes) and then I’ll finish it cause it’s already around halfway done.
6. Fruits Basket - Hollywood’s Bleeding (8:03)
Song: youtube.com/watch?v=w5GrxfjuTTI
Also 100% intending to finish this. I started it after S2E10 came out and intended for it to be like, a ~quick edit~ type of thing, but I didn’t edit it fast enough and then I fell behind in the show + felt it just looked a little sloppy in some parts (this also isn’t everything I have, there’s also a good chunk in the second part of the song that I didn’t include). So I’ll probably just catch up with the rest of what’s out and then clean this up + finish it cause I NEED this to exist, the song is perfect for the Sohma family, holy shit.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
See I’m trying!! Lol. The last few months have been a little rough mental health-wise so I’ve been especially out of the editing mood on top of my already persistent creative slump. Things are already getting better though so hopefully I can get at least one of these done relatively soon.
Hope you’re all staying safe and well!

Guys. I am obsessed with Haikyuu.
I also wish that more of the manga was ADAPTED ALREADY so I could have used all the SUPER COOL NATIONALS PLAYS in this video but whatEVER, it's FINE
I didn't even watch this anime cause of the volleyball (I played a little in middle school, but it capped at gym class games and extracurricular recreational lessons at the local community centre), but GODDAMN did this show make me get LEGITIMATELY RE-INTERESTED IN VOLLEYBALL? I was not expecting this?? I keep watching plays and compilations on YouTube and ITCHING to PLAY VOLLEYBALL? I am the least athletic person on the planet so this is genuinely shocking. I may even look for a beginner team to join once it becomes safe again? Whack?
I also genuinely just love this show. The manga is also phenomenal and I'm super excited to see how it gets adapted into anime form cause like, the rest of the Nationals matches? OOF. SO GOOD. SO GODDAMN EXCITED
(I've forgotten how to write descriptions. It's been way too long. I don't remember how to end these.)

The short version: I started working full-time two summers ago and never stopped being busy since, lmao. At school I'm a full-time uni student (plus I don't bring my desktop with me to school, so I don't even have access to Vegas), and then I'd pretty much go back to working a stupid amount of hours whenever I came home (if anyone reading this works at a restaurant, you'll know what I mean, lmao). And that's fine! I really like my job! I just decided to prioritize other things while I get used to being an adult. I will likely continue to do so for the most part.
I did, however, have a bit of a break before I went back to work in December, so that's when I started this! Then I gave up on it for a while, went back to school, and then got a sudden burst of inspiration and finished it over the last three days.
I am! So happy! With how this turned out!
Except I'm mad at YouTube for completely ruining the quality of this. Has anybody else had a problem where anything you upload in 16:9 is super pixellated and has this little black bar at the bottom? It doesn't show up on my laptop (Mac) but it does on my desktop (Windows), and it's really fucking weird and I hate it. I don't know where it's coming from cause I tried rendering in both .wmv and .mp4 format, I played around with a bunch of settings, and it didn't used to happen until I tried uploading something in December? Even this version is more pixellated than I'd like, but the black bar is at least gone so I'll settle, haha.
Not the end of the world by any means, but I can't figure out why it's happening to some people's videos and not others. If anybody knows what I'm talking about/how to fix it, please lmk, I will love you forever.
But either way! The Dragon Prince is my favourite show right now and I want everybody to watch it. TDP is everything Voltron wanted to be but could not. TDP is my heart and soul rn. If this video convinces even one person to watch it, I will be satisfied.

The thing is: this summer I got a job! It was a dishwashing job at a restaurant, and while I loved it enough to return this month during my winter break, it was very TIME- and ENERGY-CONSUMING.
And apparently, when I have literally anything else to do, my editing inspiration vanishes!
So I had a great time and made some money, but it was a very barren year videowise. I just don’t have access to editing software/footage/etc during the school year, and when I came back home I didn’t feel like spending my (relatively limited) free time editing alone in my room. I also effectively left online fandom in 2018 (which has GREATLY improved my anxiety levels — would highly recommend), so a lot of that emotional involvement that used to go into my videos has just...disappeared? Or morphed into something else. I don’t really know. And right now I’m working on something to submit to Anime Boston 2019, but that’s pretty much all I’m in the mood to make?
I think I might just still be bitter about Voltron, though, so we’ll see how 2019 pans out when I watch some new shows, LMAO.
——————————————————————————————————————
(0:00) #1: TAZ - Magnus Reveal (Animatic)
The TAZ fandom is way too good at animatics and I watched so many good ones that I was tempted to make my own. I got frustrated with it pretty quickly, though, since I don’t draw often enough anymore for it to come naturally to me, so I gave up. Maybe I’ll finish this one day?? This is one of my favourite Balance scenes (if not all-time favourite), so I’d like to!
(0:45) #2: TAZ - Blue Lips (Animatic)
THE HOMESTUCK IN ME COULDN’T RESIST. I ultimately got a lot of anxiety about this one, though, since all the pronouns in the song are gendered male and I wasn’t sure whether matching any gendered lyrics to Lup would’ve been weird/upsetting? Like I always changed the on-screen text to say “she” anytime there was a “he” lyric but I didn’t want to risk anything and I didn’t really know how to...check that...since I didn't really have any fandom ties anymore lol...so this died. Again, maybe I’ll rearrange some scenes or w/e and properly finish this off someday because I NEED IT TO EXIST.
(2:30) #3: FMA:B - Earthquake
In the depths of my editing-block summer, I tried to make a minute-and-a-half-long video to this song because I’ve wanted to use it since I watched THIS as a teeny baby: youtube.com/watch?v=qSmBJ-giiv0
Sadly the editing block persisted even for short videos, so this never came to be.
(2:50) #4: Klance - Agape
BITCH
WE
WERE
R O B B E D
R!! O!! B!! B!! E!! D!!
I remember working on this last winter and being SO SURE that we’d have some good new Klance Content to use when I came home for the summer so that I could finish this. So young. So naive. So fucking depressing in hindsight.
I can’t even bring myself to watch S7 onwards because everything I’ve heard about the show past S6 (like, shipping aside) just sounds so goddamn bad. I can’t watch it and I can’t edit it. This is probably the closest thing to a finish VLD video you’ll ever get from me again.
I was (and still am) really proud of and excited about this video. Fuck right off.
(5:45) #5: VLD - Lions Inside
Remember this video that I uploaded a preview of to force myself to actually finish it? Haha. Sorry!
(6:57) #6: VLD - Teenagers
Another failed attempt at breaking my editing block.
I also just wanted to put in that clip of Allura SLAM-DUNKING Lotor.

Haha, oh man, getting this video up was such an ordeal!
First there was an issue with the effects I was using (I was primarily using the Add Noise effect, which ended up quadrupling the size of the video and absolutely wrecking the quality on YouTube, so I had to replace it with TV Simulator; problem is that it took me about a week to figure out what the problem was!). I finally finished it last night, but then Vegas kept getting stuck halfway through the render, so I had to split it up, render it in 12 parts, and then stitch them all together to render them again (tbh I’m surprised it took this long for me to have that problem…I think the last time was 2012).
But I made it through and now it’s up! Overall I’d say I’m quite happy with it. I had this idea in my head for about two months but I couldn’t actually make it because I was still at university, so when I got home I /immediately/ jumped on it, haha.
So January 28th, 2018 marks the fateful day that I decided to start listening to TAZ, and it's literally one of the best things I've ever done. Shoutout to my friend Lou for (indirectly) kickstarting this obsession and letting me scream to her on Facebook for a month. The real MVP.
I don't even know what to say about TAZ except the Balance arc is so, so important to me and it's made me cry more in the last two months than I did in the last year, probably. If you're looking for a podcast that starts off as a joke and ends up ripping your soul in half and then putting it back together, LISTEN TO TAZ.
(Season 2 is currently happening, which is ALSO super good, by the WAY)

** Edit: didn't make it into the finals this year! but I'm glad I tried and now I really want to try again next year/for some other contests as well so all in all, it's chill.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
My entry for Anime Boston's AMV Contest this year because? I guess that's a thing I'm gonna attempt to do lol?
I'll honestly be good if I even become a finalist because like, I have no idea what they're looking for in AMVs so I'm just winging it here, tbh.
I've literally wanted to use this song ever since this video was uploaded: youtube.com/watch?v=sXGWmJbkoWw and I got double inspired by this: youtube.com/watch?v=gkXY-CUjYmk so when I got the idea for this video, I:
a) screamed at myself because what the FUCK, how DARE I, excuse ME
b) immediately began it when I came back home for winter break.
But then I gave up on it until this week, and I rushed to finish it before I returned to uni hell for another two months. Woo!
No sound editing this time around because on one hand, I don't have FMA:B downloaded with 5.1 audio, and on the other hand one of the contest rules are it has to be 75% music.......so I just went with 100% music because why not.

I realized about a month ago that I might be one of the only vidders who've been around since this song came out and have never actually edited with it (the remix from my FMAB video doesn't count). I decided to rectify this mistake, because IT'S BEEN LONG ENOUGH. IT'S 2018. IT WAS ABOUT TIME.
Also this?? was not supposed to take as long as it did?? It was supposed to be my Fun Video, my Easy-To-Edit Video, my excuse to use up every action scene that didn't fit the tone of my previous two videos. And somehow this one ended up taking the longest amount of time (I wanna say about three weeks?).
But I'm incredibly pleased with the result so it's okay.
Anyways, time to pass out for the night before I go back to school! Hope you all had a good holiday season :)

I'd been planning on using this song for a The 100 video since Canadian Thanksgiving, actually, but I've recently realized that I don't? actually like the show enough to fully catch up? and I've gotten waaaay to attached to Lexa and Clarke/Lexa to let myself continue because I CAN'T TAKE THAT KIND OF SOUL-SHATTERING FROM A SHOW THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE FUN
Anyways. Then I listened to the song again a few days ago and THIS popped into my head and I couldn't shake it, so here we are! I'm really proud of it too; I think this might be my best sound editing to date :')
Also this is one of FOUR full-length videos that I'm trying to finish before January 8th, so like. Pray for my soul, guys.

An ode to one of my favourite shows. :')
I never actually expected to make anything for VLD, honestly? I watched the first season when it came out, promptly forgot everything that happened and forgot about the show until a year later, then watched seasons two and three last summer without knowing what in the world was happening. It was pretty much my Fun Show that I thought about for a total of two days after I watched each season and then didn't really think about with any depth beyond that.
And then when I watched season four, something happened and now it's the only thing I've thought about in the last two months?
Shrug.
Anyways, I fucking love this show. Please watch it.

Listen. At school, I don't have access to Sony Vegas; I edit on my desktop and I leave it at home during the school year, plus my laptop is a Mac, so I usually just wait until I get home to make any videos. But I came out of season 2 so desperately needing to make a video that I downloaded a free trial of Adobe Premiere, learned how to use the program in like a day (I mean, I've used it before but not this intensely) and made this in about two days just to get it out of my system.
Song choice was inspired by this video: youtube.com/watch?v=7VPjQV-0nzM which I have not stopped thinking about since it was uploaded.

Honestly I nearly didn't finish this video because I had a sort of editing crisis the other week where I suddenly realized that I'd stopped editing for fun and started editing because I felt like I had something to prove? And that every video I made had to be The Best and Most Unique thing I've ever made? Which was obviously really discouraging and anxiety-inducing lmao
Basically I took a short break from editing (you can't tell from an outsider perspective but since I came home I'd basically been editing or planning videos every day so I pretty much took a week off to watch booktube haha) and then came back to this with a much more "fuck it!!!!!!" mindset
As a result this video's a little more of a simpler style than I'd originally envisioned, but I had fun making it which is ALL THAT REALLY MATTERS IN THE END # followurdreams

This was v fun to make. 10/10 would vid this song again. Honestly being me there is a good chance I eventually will vid this song again once enough time has passed.

OKAY SO LIKE, FIRST OF ALL, HOPELESS FOUNTAIN KINGDOM IS LITERALLY INCREDIBLE?? IT'S SUCH A GOOD ALBUM?? HOLY SHIT??
I wasn't a super huge fan of the first two singles (Strangers is a bop though) so I wasn't really expecting much but OH. MY. GOD. HALSEY!!!!!!!!!!!!
She's improved as a songwriter and singer so much in the last two years and I am emo about it. I love Halsey with a passion and will fight anyone and everyone in her honour. Anyways, Merthur!
Very minimal voiceovers in this video because I absolutely looooooove the lyrics and think this is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard so I really wanted the focus to be on the lyrics. As a consequence I had to be more careful in picking scenes bc they had to make sense even without accompanying audio so hopefully that paid off, haha. Generally: first verse/chorus is Arthur's pov, and the second is Merlin's.
Anyways listen to hfk and have a good cry over Merthur. That is the entire purpose of this video. Have fun friends

I FORGOT HOW EMOTIONALLY DISTRESSING MAKING MERTHUR VIDEOS IS???
It's real, guys. They're in love.
100%.
I've been avoiding making M//erlin videos for like a year and a half now because last time I made any BOTH OF THEM GOT BLOCKED WORLDWIDE WITHIN A WEEK? but this song is too merthur to NOT make this video, so the risk has been taken. I have dared to venture into dangerous territory. at this point I'm already prepared to scream when youtube fucks me over because THESE TWO ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT
This video sooort of has an actual structure (shocking, I know) with the choruses + that last really intense part of it:
1. First chorus: sort of from Arthur's perspective. He's saying "I should have saved you" to M.erlin after M.erlin reveals his magic because he's wishing he could have ~saved him~ from needing to hide who he is all those years and whatnot
2. M.erlin's perspective, which is pretty obvious
("You will not fail." - Gaius)
("You did not fail." - Kilgharrah)
("LMAO" - Merlin)
3. That last minute or so is kind of a montage of all the ways that they DID save each other? Both in moments of actual danger and also just in terms of like, being there for each other. Being a pal. Even just existing. And stuff.
NO I'M NOT /SCREAMING/ WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT
Anyway this was fun and hopefully youtube is nice to me

So I'm back home earlier than I thought I'd be (for reading week), and obviously that meant I had to make a video.
I listened to this song a while back again and thought it might be cool to remake that one old Bucky video I made back in 2014. And then the idea became a MISSION and that is what I DID
It is DONE
It is HERE
and I am RIDICULOUSLY PROUD OF IT
In fact I got so excited about it that I quite literally finished this video in like, a little over 24 hours
I'm still new to sound editing so I think the volume balance is kinda off (+ WHAT is with that weird sound glitch on the quote right before the first chorus?? I actually can't get rid of it but it's fine) but this is only like, the second or third time I've done it so I'm happy enough with the result
(ALSO I just realized I didn't get the full "ready to comply" quote in there, because I am A Fool who does not speak Russian and didn't think to properly check that, please forgive me)

IT FEELS SO GOOD EDITING WITH FMA AGAIN.
I have done literally nothing the past four days except make this video, eat, sleep, and take an exam. I'm absolutely exhausted but I LOVE the turnout so it was worth it.
:D
I love FMA so much ;__;
On another note: I graduated high school! Well, almost. The ceremony hasn't happened yet, but I'm done all my exams and everything, so I'm pretty much done forever. I don't know whether I'll spend the whole summer reading or making videos, but we'll see. Maybe both. Who knows.

OK SO i did upload this last night but it was. really shaky? and it bothered me SO MUCH i literally cried at one point bc i didn't know what was wrong omg........but then i realized that rendering it in 720p ended up working perfectly (even if it isn't as sharp anymore) so here it is again
anyways here's the original desc:

OHHHHHHH MY GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOODDDDD IT'S BEEN A LONG FUCKIN' MONTH BUT THIS IS FINALLY DONE AND I LOVE IT.
like this took enough time to make on its own and then i also had exams to study for. i started this almost exactly four weeks ago and just finished it like an hour ago. holy shit
i don't think i've ever spent this much time working on a video but also i don't think i've ever put this much EFFORT into a video and JESUS CHRIST it was so worth it, i absolutely love how this looks
(i sincerely hope that this doesn't get blocked in a bunch of countries since i decided against pitch shifting the song so i hope that the world will be nice to me for once)
-
i literally wasn't even expecting to actually make this video
i just made the project and then put together a few bits to see how it would look. three days later it's a full video
I LOVE HOW IT TURNED OUT THO I'M SO HAPPY
(ALL OF THE THUMBNAIL OPTIONS SUCK i am so sorry)
this was originally supposed to be the whole song, but then i cut it down to this because i can barely remember any scenes from this frickin show and i just didn't have the energy to go through every episode and find good clips to use (i'll have to just rewatch the show at some point) (especially season two)
i am also still learning how to do the shaky effect thing so some of them look weird but W/E
i hope you'll enjoy it, nonetheless

(note: i made some of my old yj videos unlisted but you can still find them here: youtube.com/playlist?list=PL1yIqIdOOECPOJcIm3-31r-7F8U9gnfko explanation is in the playlist description.)
I DID IT. I MADE A GOOD VIDEO.
i only had 15 episodes to work with (specifically 1x01-1x09, 1x11-1x13, 1x17, 1x19 & 1x20) so it kinda gets repetitive at times and at the end it's a little weird bc i ran out of ideas
but other than that i am REALLY HAPPY WITH THE RESULT!!
editing young justice is fun.

Happy Birthday, Hayley!!
okay SO last wednesday was hayley's (http://www.youtube.com/user/pikatalks) birthday but i'm an idiot and i got grounded so this is late
this is also a bad time to upload because of the hurricane (i'm not in that area but idk i just feel insensitive uploading) but oh well
there's also a really obvious glitch in the middle of the video but this took almost an hour to render so i don't feel like re-doing it.
so yeah, happy birthday hayley! i hope you enjoy this video because i worked really hard on it and i'm sorry that i didn't do dirk/roxy or something but i just didn't feel like searching for pictures.
that's all, enjoy and stay safe!!
